Just a little more finessing really.  Not much to show.  I'm slowly getting the hang of subpatches.

I did a little more work roughing in the mouth and eyes.  It's amazing how much control a single point can have on the mesh, at this point one point (in symmetry mode) affects the cheeks quite nicely.  I think I'll start assigning points to selection sets so I can pick out particular points easier.   Larry's approach is, again, very loose.  He allows you to get it to a point that you feel comfortable with the look of the model.  I personally like this approach as it emphasizes how the manipulation of the points can really affect the model.  It's like modelling with clay, really.

Spent a little more time tonight working on the face.  The nose is beginning to take shape but needs more work.  I'm sort of doing a few things at once so this is a little slow going.  Larry's approach is very loose in that he doesn't use any sort of background image to use as a template.  This set of videos is also different from the beginner videos in that he assumes you know how to use the modelling tools so he is spending time on showing techniques that will help streamline modelling and how get a feel for the form of the model.

This course assumes that you know some of the basics of the interface so the videos get right into character modelling.  This first video starts with a basic "mask" and I get what you see the the left.  I didn't actually spend 1 hour modelling but I did spend some time poking around the files from the CD and visiting Larry's website.
